However, several fans also backed "The Rock" and commented that nudity is not a taboo in the Polynesian culture.

"Those who are sexualizing this picture of his daughter because she is swimming with no clothes on obviously don’t know what it’s like to grow up in the islands or in a Polynesian household."

"This is very normal and not sexual in any way with our culture."
